Haptic Presents – Dale James

London-based DJ, Dale James, has dedicated his soul to moving dancefloors with a sound that blends deep, raw underground spirit with an eclectic refined taste. Beginning his journey in the city’s underground minimal scene playing intimate after-hours and warehouse parties, Dale’s style has evolved into something deeper: rhythm-driven yet rich with soul, warmth, swing, and nostalgic energy rooted in deep house.

A regular behind the decks at some of London’s most iconic members clubs, Dale has held residencies at Soho House, House of KOKO, The Ned, and Roof Gardens, where his curated sets have become synonymous with elevated, fashion-forward nightlife. His instinctive ability to create atmosphere has also made him a go-to for fashion and lifestyle brands, with appearances for Nike, Space NK, Martine Rose, and Acne Studios.

For Haptic Presents, Dale invites you on a journey through sexy, soulful grooves — hypnotic, deep, and timeless sounds. Perfect for late nights where time slips and bodies move.
